Iran Unveils New Drone Armed with Smart Bombs

In a ceremony on Monday in commemoration of the 39th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution and in the presence of Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami, the Defense Ministry inaugurated the mass production of Mohajer 6 UCAV and Qaem precision-guided bomb.
 
Speaking to reporters, Hatami said Mohajer 6 has the capability to carry out surveillance, reconnaissance and combat missions within a wide operational radius and can help the Armed Forces identify and destroy pre-determined targets.
 
Mohajer-6 is the first UAV of the Mohajer family that is armed with a guided weapon system and is bigger than the other types of Mohajer family.
 
Iran defense minister further explained that Mohajer-6 is armed with Qaem smart guided bomb and is also equipped with a variety of electro-optic detectors and warheads through which the drone can identify, intercept and destroy the target.
 
The minister noted that the new Iranian drone was capable of sending intelligence to control and command centers during day and night and could take off from and land on short runways.
 
During recent years, Iran has made major breakthroughs in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing critical military hardware and systems.
